The (secret) City of London is NOT part of the UK | England
The City of London is NOT London! Looks like a play on words but it's not. They are completely different cities.
I have been may times in London and there is so many things to do in the City of London, but this time I thought about talking a bit about the secret City of London.
The City of London is also knows as The City and The Square Mile because it only has about 1.12 square miles.
I talk on the video about the City of London about some secrets and facts about it but there is one in particular that most of the people don't know, and that is the London Bridge and the London Tower are not owner by London's government but they are owned by The City of London Corporation.
Some say that the City of London is not part of the UK, I don't know about that but the facts that I say on the video about the city of London I know they are true.
The city of London has a different mayor and he is usually called The Right Honourable Lord Mayor of London, The Lord Mayor of London has full authority over The City of London, The Square Mile.
There are many conspiracies about banking and finance in The City but for sure The City owns a lot of buildings and places outside of the perimeter of The City.

Braintree has grown contiguous with several surrounding settlements. Braintree proper lies on the River Brain and to the south of Stane Street, the Roman road from Braughing to Colchester, while Bocking lies on the River Blackwater and to the north of the road. The two are sometimes referred to together as Braintree and Bocking, and since 1934 they form the civil parish of that name.
Braintree is bypassed by the modern-day A120 and A131 roads, while trains serve two stations in the town, at the end of the Braintree Branch Line. Braintree is twinned with Pierrefitte-sur-Seine, France, and gives its name to the towns of Braintree, Massachusetts and Braintree, Vermont, in the United States.

Two rivers flow through Braintree in this direction. Pod's Brook approaches the western side of the town, forming a natural boundary between Braintree and the neighbouring village of Rayne about two miles (3 km) to the west.

13 Creepiest Tourist Destinations
Visit these creepy but poplular tourist destinations & attractions all over the world from catacombs to a spooky museum of witchcraft!

7. Tyneham Village
This ghost town in the United Kingdom is one of the more eerie ghost towns that you’re actually allowed to visit. Located on the English Channel, just west of Portsmouth, residents were forced to leave their homes so allied troops could train for the invasion of Normandy nearly 70 years ago. The residents believed that they could return to their homes once the training was over but they never did. It was deemed that the land was too strategic to the military and the town remains abandoned. It’s now the largest army training ground in the UK. visitors are allowed to come on certain days of the year but the Ministry of Defense can withdraw access with short notice.
6. Burk’s Fall Ontario
A Canadian artist by the name of Peter Camani had a disturbing idea of building what he described as a “forest”. But instead of trees, he used 18 foot tall cement screaming heads! Sounds peaceful right? He intends this location for people to dump the ashes of their loved ones but it’s really turned into a local tourist attraction that people want to check out for their own. In this photograph, from the angle it was taken, you can tell that hands were also constructed and seem to go with the screaming heads.
5. The Witches Market
Located in one of Bolivia’s two capitals, you’ll find a creepy tourist attraction that will cater to all your spooky witchcraft potions and needs. Whether you need some dried frogs, or llama fetuses, this lively market will have what you're looking for. Other merchandise includes potions, strange statues, good luck charms. Threads of llama fur get wrapped around the statues for added good luck.
4. The Mutter Museum
If you’re into strange medical mysteries and oddities, the mutter museum might be right up your alley. This probably one of the strangest places you may ever go! Here you might find random things like jars filled with peeled off human skin, hippopotamus fat from South Africa, a book bound in human skin and all sorts of horrific things that will give you nightmares! Don’t forget about the slices of Einstein’s brain on display that were taken without permission! They also house a large inventory of skulls that were used to see if the craniums hold anatomical differences vary from different races around the world. If you’re not slightly creeped out by this place, there’s something wrong with you.
3. Capuchin Crypt
We might have mentioned this in a previous video, but it’s truly hard to get over the creepiness of the Capuchin Crypts located in Rome, Italy. This is also an ossuary and made up of the bones of several thousand Capuchin monks. They’re commonly arranged in into artsy ensembles, covering the walls and ceilings. This definitely seems like a place you don’t want to stay the night! Like you see in this photo, you can see them dressed up in robes with traditional brown robes! There’s about 5 or 6 themed rooms with bones creating furniture and ironically, even tombs like you see in this photo. Photography isn’t allowed but certainly seems like it’s worth a trip!
2. Odessa Catacombs
There might be a lot of catacombs out there in Europe, but something just seems a tad more eerie about the ones in Odessa after doing research. Originally built as a limestone mine like you can tell from this photo, it’s supposed to be closed to the public, but people still find away into this forbidden zone. The catacombs in Odessa, Ukraine have a massive tunnel system that stretches out to be 1500 miles under this slavic beach town. That’s longer than San Diego to Seattle! And it’s not just from the bones you might find there, but the shady things going on, as well as its haunting history. It’s supposedly here where executions of Nazi soldiers took place and also acted as a soviet hideout. In modern times, it’s been the location of homicides, illegal mushroom cultivators and bootleg winemakers. Recently a woman explored these tunnels and never came back Rumors of treasure being here as made urban explorers. Enter if you dare.
1.Villisca Axe Murder House
Believing that people would actually make a tourist attraction where gruesome murders took place seems beyond ridiculous and disrespectful. An entire family of 6 met their untimely end here in 1912 and the mystery was never solved who was responsible. Some are bothered by the fact that ghost hunters and tourists are allowed to stay the night here but this might not seem to be the best bed and breakfast place to stay at. It’s reportedly haunted by the victims and one ghost hunter actually became possessed and stabbed himself in 2014 during a routine investigation. There were no indications of foul play, the ghost hunter had no reported mental health issues and the wounds were self inflicted
Cambridge is More Than a University Town
Cambridge may be home to one of the world’s most revered universities but there's much more to this historic English town. With the picturesque River Cam running through its centre, Cambridge is as beautiful and it is fascinating. New restaurants and bars have invigorated its food scene, offering a blend of creativity and tradition. Welcome to Cambridge.

10 Things NOT to Do in Hong Kong
Get more Tips here!
There are plenty of websites out there telling you what to see and do in Hong Kong. However, to experience the city at its fullest, you’ll also need to know what to avoid. Here’s a list of things NOT to do in Hong Kong.
1. Don’t Spit
Spitting is just not considered rude in China. Some believe it helps ward off evil spirits. However, cross over to Hong Kong and it is prohibited to spit in public. In fact, you can be fined up to HK$5,000 for doing so.
2. Don’t Assume Hong Kong is as Free and Open as the West
Despite it embraces more legal freedoms than the People’s Republic, some believe that e-mails are being monitored and Internet censorship is happening. Travelers should be aware of these rising tensions and be cautious about engaging in politically charged communications.
3. Don’t Overpay at Street Markets
Hong Kong offers a vast range of exciting street markets where you can buy just about any type of consumer good imaginable. Learn the art of haggling, you will often be able to buy things for little over half the asking price.
4. Don’t Take Taxis
It is an unnecessarily expensive way to get around, and it can take a long time to get anywhere through the gridlock. Instead, try using the efficient and affordable Mass Transit Railway, buy an Oyster Card if you’re going to use this several times.
5. Don’t Bother With the Sky Terrace
Instead of going to popular and overpriced tourist traps such as the Sky Terrace, consider the top of The Peak Galleria mall, it is free and the crowds are nil, also try Central Plaza, the Bank of China, Two IFC and One Island East.
6. Don’t Take the Peak Tram
The Peak is undoubtedly one of the best vantage points in Hong Kong, but taking the overpriced, over-crowded tourist tram up to the top isn’t the only way up there. Instead, if you’re fit, consider hiking up the hill using the designated footpaths.
7. Don’t Underestimate the Language Barrier
If you need to ask anyone for directions, try to find younger people to help, since they’re more likely to speak English. Taxi drivers rarely speak English, so have a map or written address on hand to convey where you want to go.
8. Don’t Forget about the Entry Requirements
Hong Kong has its own entry requirements. Citizens of the US and most western nations do not need any visa to visit Hong Kong for a period of less than 90 days. However, if you want to go to Shenzhen or other parts of mainland China, you will need a separate visa.
9. Don’t Bring Chinese Currency
While China uses the Yuan, Hong Kong still uses its own currency; the Hong Kong dollar. Although you shouldn’t have any problem changing money anywhere in the region. If you’re arriving via mainland China, you’ll need to withdraw or change some money as soon as you get to Hong Kong.
10. Don’t Neglect the Rest of Hong Kong
Venture into the New Territories and you’ll find traditional walled towns like Kat Hing Wa, fishing villages on Lamma Island, beaches in Lantau. Surf in Big Wave Bay, markets in Stanley and Repulse Bay. Visit Cheung Chau island and its Cheung Po Tsai pirate caves. There are lots of places to visit. Don't miss them!
